I haven't heard of this type of thing happening before but that does not mean for one minute that it couldn't happen, I wish I knew of some good answer to tell you in order to be of help I am allergic to many medications and they can cause terrible side effects talk with the doctor explain to him what you have told me and see what he has to say also what Chris told you about the bar you should report this and also try and see if anyone else has had this type of problem but please talk with your doctor as quickly as possible I wish you only the very best
